POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

Cleansing

Write a poem inspired by this theme.

Ultraviolet

Purple is the Color of God

The thunderstorm said this to me

On the morrow

Between the transition of white stars

To a blank black blanket

Mixing and swirling behind

The static bolts crackling

In the sky


Clouds grow excited


A blink of life, our own moment, yes


**_ECHO, yes _**


A closed eye for a tear to fall

Renewal in this

Thunder in this too


**CRASH **


The sky says, and send bolts of heaven to **_crack_** open the universe


The cosmos **_unravel_** themselves


So you can be here


Now


Pure


Cleansed not in fire


NO,


In something even more , beyond us


And resonant


Purple is the color of stars we can’t even understand


But they look at us and therefore


A humans beauty makes them real


Makes us cleansed too
